You can use both programs

I suggest not to use PS for typo though :)

Well designing a brochure in Photoshop would be plain stupid. You have no idea how much work and time that would take.

[Boozer]

what do you mean?...dont be lazy and write what you know about DTP in a new thread and make it sticky...if you know alot, write a book and send me a free copy..and if you get stuck anywhere always feel free to ask me...I'd be glad to help you :)

I am in the middle of writting an article on DTP in general, either to be published on my new site or CGInsider.

What i mean is that making let's just say and 16 pages brochure, each page made in Photoshop in 300 DPI
Don't you think that would be somewhat timeconsuming.

Having 2 files, one PSD and one flattened file for each page. I did it once and believe me, it's a bitch

:edit:
But to help sjlover1 out i suggest you check out the threads in this forum, plus check out CGInsider issue 1 and 2 wich both contains articles on printing.

If you only have Photoshop and Illustrator i suggest you use Illustrator.

ah now I see...well thats why indesign is for isnt it?...make the images in PS export and add typo in indesign and your boss will love you and you'll get a raise so you can go out to better places, meet some girls and impress them showing the broshure you just made...:D
